Red Hook Container Terminal

The Red Hook Container Terminal is run by a company of the same name for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Port Authority acquired the port in the 1950s, a time when goods were shipped not in standardized truck-size boxes but as "break bulk cargo." In the 1980s the site was rebuilt as a container terminal, complete with large gantry cranes and large areas to stack long metal shipping containers.
